the owner can apply for the use to be altered such as changing from human to animal consumption or the owner can pay for the product to be destroyed Members of the Port Health team at the Immingham BCP Officers work a range of shifts throughout a 7-day operational week These are 6am to 2pmor 12pm to 8pm Monday to Friday or a weekend shift from 8am-4pm in order to be in the best position possible to make decisions on consignments potentially arriving 24/7.  The same officers are also involved in providing an export health certification service for local businesses exporting fish and other goods outside the UK from the North East Lincolnshire area said: “The new facility is much better than our previous BCP The technology is far more impressive and reliable which allows us to do our job much more efficiently.” He added: “We have so many products that come through the BCP People don’t always understand the volume of food or the depth of the examinations we carry out A lot of work goes into getting these consignments from one place to the other “It’s not just about the physical checks though we also spend a lot of our time checking the documents that come with the cargo we have checked over 17,000 documents which equates to just over 800 a week.” This variation of documents and products is what John enjoys most about his job “Although it may look like we’re doing the same thing over and over again each container has a different product that needs different checks carried out the difference from one consignment to the next is what makes the job so interesting.” As the 23,000-tonne strategic Ro-Ro vessel Eddystone inched its way through the massive locks separating the Humber estuary from the calmer waters of Associated British Ports’ facilities at the Port of Immingham a milestone was being achieved in how UK Defence will project its global presence in the years to come The arrival of the Eddystone packed to the gunwales with military hardware from the Greek port of Alexandropoulos followed Exercise Steadfast Dart in Romania This marked the first practical demonstration of the recently signed strategic agreement between the MoD and Associated British Ports (ABP) that allows their numerous sites around the UK coastline to be used by UK Defence to ship its equipment and vehicles when it deploys overseas on operations and exercises armour and thousands of tonnes of equipment would pass through its sole military port facility located at Marchwood The new agreement is of strategic significance as it provides additional options to Marchwood greatly reducing the associated risks of a single choice of port the threat from aggressive states and actors is very real NATO and our partner nations need UK forces to be able to rapidly deploy to deter assure and - when the need arises - react to any player who would wish to undermine the security of Europe The new strategic agreement with Associated British Ports plays an important role in strengthening the UK’s strategic base bringing about increased speed and capacity with greatly reduced risk when deploying overseas that will certainly contribute to the lethality of Britain’s land forces key signatory to the strategic agreement said: "I’m delighted to see the first demonstration of the new agreement between MoD and ABP come to life at Immingham port This agreement marks a significant step in boosting the resilience efficiency and agility of Defence’s Sea Mounting Capability by leveraging ABP’s national port estate The partnership with ABP plays a pivotal role in fortifying the UK Strategic Base a cornerstone essential for Defence to effectively deploy the agreement spawns further benefits and efficiencies Points of disembarkation for deploying units can be selected closer to their garrison locations resulting in less road moves with subsequent fuel and monetary savings and a much-reduced impact on the carbon footprint the vehicles rolling off the Eddystone at Immingham will journey on to their final destinations at Catterick in Yorkshire and Oakham in Leicestershire rather than having to make the long drive up from the south coast Field Army Deputy Chief of Staff said: "I am thrilled to see our new strategic relationship with ABP transition from concept to operational capability so quickly at Immingham Port Joint effort to build an enduring and trusting partnership will deliver a step change in our ability to deploy Access to the ABP port network provides the UK with a significantly more robust resilient and efficient capability to deliver Sea Mounting as part of strategic base outload." Regional Director of the Humber ports said: “The Humber ports are in a key strategic position on the UK east coast and this is a great honour to be offering Immingham to support the UK’s Armed Forces Not only does this port call provide a local and cost-effective operation for the Desert Rats it also gives all parties valuable experience of operating in different ABP locations and the options our port locations offer to scale up.” ABP’s Senior MoD Engagement Lead said: “The discharge of the military hardware was the first since ABP signed the agreement our strategic partnership with the Ministry of Defence gives it additional sea mounting resilience and enables seamless deployment and recovery of military vehicles and equipment across the nation ensuring readiness for overseas missions.” TEKEVER today announced the raise of a new funding round which confirms TEKEVER’s valuation at over £1 billion and helps drive its UK development programme today announced that it has been awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise in the innovation category Dorset -

million Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal has been granted development consent by the Secretary of State for Transport marking a significant milestone in expanding the UK’s freight infrastructure will be operated by Associated British Ports (ABP) and is expected to handle up to 660,000 units per year The approved plans include a new jetty with three berths and an internal bridge to improve connectivity across the existing port infrastructure The facility is designed to accommodate larger vessels and speed up the turnaround times for ferries The Swedish shipping giant currently runs four daily freight services from the Humber to the Netherlands and this new terminal will allow for the relocation of Stena’s Immingham freight operation to a more modern and efficient site The application for the development was submitted by ABP in February 2023 with the Planning Inspectorate accepting it for examination the following month and other interested parties were invited to provide evidence and submit views The Examining Authority considered these inputs before making its recommendations to the Secretary of State in April 2024 This project is the 53rd transport application out of 144 handled by the Planning Inspectorate under the Planning Act 2008.  ABP stated that the new terminal will not only facilitate quicker sailing times but will also create much-needed space at the port

Erikka Askeland Spanish firm Exolum has claimed a “world first” green hydrogen project at the Port of Immingham in Lincolnshire announced the start of its plan to transport and store green hydrogen on a commercial scale using existing oil infrastructure via liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) Exolum said the pioneering scheme establishes a new model for hydrogen storage closer to consumption points such as ports and industrial areas using existing tank and pipeline infrastructure LOHCs are organic compounds that can absorb and release hydrogen through chemical reactions and can be used as a means of storing and transporting hydrogen in liquid form Exolum global strategy and growth lead Ignacio Casajús said: “The pioneering project we have launched proposes a realistic safe and cheap formula for distributing green hydrogen that is in line with existing demand we avoid developing new infrastructure by using our logistics network We are convinced that this initiative will make a decisive contribution to the decarbonisation of the economy and the diversification of alternative energy sources.” Private equity-backed Exolum is one of the world’s largest liquid logistics companies with a major fuel pipeline and tank storage network in the UK It delivers fuel to airports for around four out of every ten flights taking off from the UK each year Its network includes the historic Simon Storage facilities at Immingham which CLH acquired from Canada’s Inter Pipeline in 2020 The project has received funding from the UK government which has provided £505,000 as part of the hydrogen storage and distribution supply chain collaborative R&D programme run by Innovate UK The trial will transport 400 cubic metres of LOHC containing 20 tonnes of hydrogen through a 1.5 km long pipeline connecting Exolum’s facilities at Immingham East and Immingham West in the Humber Region Laboratory tests will be carried out to confirm that LOHC quality is maintained in this process This demonstration will also include a scientific study of the potential costs and benefits of converting Exolum estimates that its facilities in the UK will be able to distribute 4.6 TWh of hydrogen per year 30% of the total demand forecast by the UK government for 2030 This project will contribute to the objectives of the UK government’s clean power mission 2030 by replacing the current underground storage facilities with terminals at the points of consumption of this gas which began operating in the United Kingdom in 2015 has 22 storage terminals with more than 2.4 million cubic metres of capacity the company is developing a green hydrogen production plant and refuelling station as part of the Tees Valley hydrogen vehicle ecosystem project which also includes the construction of a water electrolyser and hydrogen refuelling station at the Exolum Riverside terminal in Stockton-on-Tees The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources and will supply both the planned refuelling station and other customers in the region through the ‘hub and spoke’ distribution model By 2025-01-20T11:40:00+00:00 Associated British Ports (ABP) has submitted a planning application for the development of land at its Stallingborough Interchange site to provide high quality automotive open storage space and bulk warehousing to new and existing
